An Oscar win for Emma Stone as Bella Baxter in "Poor Things" would extend a streak of dominance for Searchlight Pictures in the lead actress category at the Academy Awards.
In the past six years, actresses from Searchlight films have won the best actress Oscar four times.
That list of Searchlight Oscar winners includes:

- Olivia Colman for "The Favourite." (2019)
- Frances McDormand (again) for "Nomadland. (2021)
- Jessica Chastain for "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." (2022)
Other past best actress winners from Searchlight Pictures films include Natalie Portman for "Black Swan" (2010) and Hillary Swank for "Boys Don't Cry" (2000) - making six wins in this category in the last 25 years - the most of any studio.
Will Stone can keep the trend going?
